Praying Mantis Sprite

Today I want to show you that you can apply the techniques for making background also on your image. Normally, you colour your skin and hair of the picture and then the clothing and such. But this technique uses a slightly different order. First colour the part of the clothing that you want to edit with some texture. This texture can be applied with different kinds of material, such as a piece of fabric or in this case a piece of natural sponge.

I will explain to you in easy steps how I did it.

STEP 1

First you colour your clothes where you want some texture in it.

STEP 2

Then moisturize your natural sponge with a little bit of Copic Activator.

STEP 3

Then gently dab the damp sponge on to your color work.

TIP: Don't leave the sponge too long on the image, because then your Copic colours will fade too much.

STEP 4

When the Activator has dried, it may for example look like this.

The digital image that I used this time is called "Praying Mantis Sprite" from Aurora Wings.
